Acting navy secretary suggests US$14 billion weapons deal is on hold, but Taipei says it has ‘no information’ about a freeze
“China’s firm opposition to US arms sales to China’s Taiwan region is consistent, clear and unwavering,” foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Friday.
Cao was responding to a question about a possible pause at a hearing of the US Senate appropriations subcommittee on defence.
“But we’re just making sure we have everything, then the foreign military sales will continue when the administration deems necessary,” he said.
In Taipei, presidential office spokeswoman Karen Kuo said there was “no information indicating that the US intends to make any adjustments to this arms sale”.
